7th grade students going into 8th grade can discuss their elective choices when they meet with their counselor in the Spring of 7th grade. Before the start of school in the Fall, students (other than those in the Modern Media and Communications Magnet) can submit their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd elective choices for 8th grade using the Elective Preference Form available in your Schoology Class Group.
The counselors try to accommodate each student's preferences, although not everyone can have their first choice.
